Winter

The Germans didn't really fail Operation Barbarossa because of the winter. Here are some factors that they failed:

The operation kept switching objectives when it should not have. The Germans focused on Moscow at the beginning of the war but later the leader wanted to secure Ukraine first before Moscow.

The German bombers, though effective at the Blitzkrieg, should have also attacked Soviet transport lines like Railways and Roads. That would slow down the Soviet retreat that would lead to more casualties for the Red Army and Soviet supply lines would be disturbed resulting in the Soviet supplies being slowed down.

The Soviets used a combination of total-war mobilization, better fighting methods and high operational skills that defeated a German army that in 1944 was a formidable, heavily armed and modern fighting force. The Soviets outnumbered the Germans mostly during the war.

The Germans didn't have enough winter equipment to keep them warm. They also had little oil to fuel their war machine that's why they tried to take the oil fields in the Caucasus. Their forces also became overstretched and so is their supply lines, and the Germans mostly transported their supplies through horses. While the Soviets were supplied by the Allies through Iran with tanks, weaponry, and more that made the Germans attack Stalingrad to cut off the Soviet's supply lines. The Germans also was short in resources since it's the Soviets who were supplying them with raw and natural resources because of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.

The Soviets halted the German advance at Kursk and ended the German advance which resulted in a defensive warfare of the Axis Powers against the Soviet counteroffensives. There were more factors the Germans failed but I'm too lazy to find them. The winter contributed little on the failure of the Axis Powers to invade the USSR.

If the Germans planned the operation much properly, with enough resources to fuel and repair their war machine, enough equipment for their troops for the winter, and if they were able to take down Moscow, Leningrad, and Stalingrad, and they would be able to crush the Red Army fully (since the Red Army was almost destroyed due to many casualties they received) by bombing supply lines, railways, roads, then they would have a possibility to win and force the Soviet Union in a surrender (or probably a peace treaty that would force the Soviets to give the Axis Powers eastern Europe, Transcaucasia, and Karelia and the Far East)

Germany suffered chronic shortages of oil(and many other resources) throughout WWII. Oil accessibility was indeed a deciding factor on the Eastern Front.

While bombing supply lines and roads would have put the Soviets at a greater disadvantage, it's important to note that medium bombers can only fly so far, and for a truly successful campaign Soviet heavy industry(such as that of the Ural region) would need to be targeted as well.

The Luftwaffe had only one operational strategic heavy bomber during the war: the Heinkel He 177 Grief. Despite design of the aircraft beginning in 1936 it didn't see action until 1942, due to lengthy and numerous changes in design goals which incurred many mechanical issues. Primarily this was seen with the engines, of which this bomber was required to have 2, instead of the more conventional 4 as seen on its contemporaries such as the B-17. This meant that the engines had to generate a huge amount of power in order for the bomber to be airworthy, and the only engine that could accomplish this task was prone to reliability and performance issues. This severely limited the He 177's capabilities, and thus Nazi Germany's ability to strike at the heart Soviet industry.

Thanks for adding.

Try not to misunderstood the reason for the Axis failure in the Eastern Front again please. I don't wanna keep spamming this comment all around the stream just to tell you that.

It's my opinion, and I take it seriously

I have my own too, and I respect yours. Now I'll stop being rude and stupid.

me too

Like it or not, the OP has written a solid analysis based in fact. You should think twice before deriding his words as 'useless'.

cope harder lmao

ackchyually, it wash fransh that wouldve taken over

So would have the French.
